The Great South Run 5k event was the first 5k event I had completed.
Registration was simple (online). The event was well organised on the day, with roads closed along the seafront for both the 5k and the kids event.
Marshals were fantastic, and the local support was phenominal.
I have already signed up for next year, in 2017.
Less than 3 months in to my new running hobby I had only just recovered from an over-use injury to my ankle. Doing too much, too soon. Lesson learned.
In the image provided, I am the guy in blue. Zooming in to the watch I was proud to see a 4:49min/mile pace! Not bad for a newbie!
